Since I can’t use VPN, Network Printing or PalmOS USB Synchronization with Vista, I decided format my drive and start from scratch with an XP/Vista dual boot. I still plan to use Vista as my primary, but I’ll occasionally boot into XP when the need arises. I saw a few posts on the subject of dual booting XP and Vista, but nothing that seemed official, so I asked Hans Anderson at Microsoft how he normally does it.
It turns out that the process of setting up the dual boot is very simple:
- make a primary NTFS partition
- install XP
- run XP
- In XP:
- make another primary NTFS partition
- run the Vista installer
